and speeches and gotten very heavily involved in promoting the environment and so on, but nothing is the same anymore because my personal life has been destroyed. and so -- and destroyed because of stupidity, bad decision making, and huge failure on my part. and made a lot of people suffer because of that. so all of that is always on my mind. >> have you been taken aback by the extremity of some of the reaction? people treating you almost will like a mass murderer, you know, how dare you commit this hideous crime, when actually you did what millions of men have done. i'm not excusing it, defending it, anything. i'm just trying to put it into some type of context, that at times you've been so battered by this. have you felt it's been too much or not? >> you know, i never tell the press what to write and what to say. i mean, they do what they do, and i do what i do. you know, i think that it is my doing. they didn't create the story. no one out there created the story. i created it. it's my doing. now, i did not ever experience the severity that you just explained, but then again, you

in the current environment and that should be. think. this year will be at the level of maybe just a little bit less. than a quick look at some international markets and also the spanish downgrade this credit rating doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on investor we see that both of us and the diets are adding and back when it comes to spanish stock market of course it's a drop in but even the losses there are not that significant move unknown to the russian markets you know what we've had there were tracking losses overseas and now they have made a comeback with the r.t.s. looks like it's a pause about the my stocks. go into higher and i of course oil prices are helping which have bounced back as quick look at currencies where we've seen that the euro has been strengthened against the u.s. dollar for the past couple of hours when it comes to ruble every manes makes against the currency basket and this is how the figures stand at this hour thank you very much indeed we'll see you later and coming out of a thrilling special report of bones. wealthy british style. is not on the

and until there are jobs and certainty in the consumer environment and business environment, we will be going through this for a while until the leadership of our country clears a path and certainty on a long-term basis. >> john, thank you very employ. we'll go to reed, wisconsin after this. it was soccer, and ballet, and cheerleading, and baseball. those years were crazy. so, as we go into this next phase, you know, a big part of it for us is that there isn't anything on the schedule. >> mitt romney arriving in columbus, ohio. he will be prepping for the debate on tuesday. this is a rematch if you will after scoring very, very well in the debate that many consider the reason why he closed posals not only in ohio and florida and wisconsin where they are close to dead even and tommy thompson joins us, the u.s. senate and cand date virtually even in the polls. tommy, good to have you. where do you think and why do you think for mitt romney, the swing state polls have swung so far back. is it just the debate or the normal reassessment that goes on in the campaign or what? >> several rea

current environment and that should be joint think. this year the level of maybe just a little bit less. than that quick look at international markets as i mentioned european investors don't seem to be bothered by the spanish downgrade or the financial stability in spain or greece was that the. percentage of that's over a half a percent there were a negative territory earlier on in the session right now they're more focused on corporate earnings for later out this week moving on to the rushed. in markets a similar picture here is wall sawed off in the red and it's all back in positive territory although it's still quite close to the floor outlined by you will also have oil prices that are helping of their bounds five now gaining after falling down from a warm we call i and of course is something very important in the message here soon on currencies the euro is strengthen the against the u.s. dollar when it comes to their often currency it is makes this hour and that's how it all looks more analysis are to the call. for now by the city ok all right thank you marina up next our t. ta

environments and so you can imagine the fine you get twelve people sit around the table eating sandwiches and you show them an ad and then you go around and say what do you think that that's not how we watch ads nobody prompts you immediately afterwards to have an opinion on an ad and so they're really limited to something we have here and we still know very little about how voters change their minds or how campaigns can influence them and persuade them what we do know a lot about is how you can be a lots more about individually targeting voters and how you can meaningfully engage them to change their behavior to sign to register deciding to vote and so that's where so much of the innovation is taking place so it's aware that innovation is taking place is it more about mobilizing the base to vote or is it more about targeting that three to five percent of people that are really truly undecided or persuadable i mean most campaigns are doing both but there's so much more emphasis now on mobilization so almost everything i write about the book has taken place since two thousand an

controlled environment where he's had a lot of time to practice, where he's had an opportunity to sort of think a lot about what he wants to say and frame his arguments and he went out and delivered. but now he's going to have to go out there and defend those arguments, going to have to go out on the stump and talk to people, talk to reporters. again, articulate the vision that john was talking about which he's been unable to do. we'll see if he's able to take that performance out of a controlled environment and i think the onus is on the president as well. he certainly came out swinging yesterday and did a lot of things people wished he had done at the debate on wednesday night, but he's going to have to make the same argument. >> well, the next two debates will be fascinating, as will the vp debate. for now, thank you both very much. >>> coming up, education was a key part of the debate the other night but can you save our schools? we meet the man who is trying to do that.

run their businesses, in a very competitive environment globally, i think what we hear is aontinuation or a promise of a continuation of more of the same policies, which has made american businesses -- it put them in the backseat. we have the highest tax rates in the world. i know there are loopholes but they were created by congress, you know we're in a situation ere we're not competitive. we're not able to bring back our earnings from overseas, where we have a situation where we're not creating jobs, we're putting the money on our balance sheets rather than investing it in the american economy. that is unheard of. we need a change in that policy from one administration or another but this needs to change. neil: steve, do you think something changed in the last week? maybe mitt romney's debate performance or the lack there of in the president's where it may have emboldened the ''s critics, and sharpened or jazzed the chalngary supporters to speak out to seize on what they think is an opportunity to make the president's one termer. >> i don't know if it is that, or not, yo

, i learned on the campaign trail. there's always a winner and loser. the political environment just like the business world, is highly competitive. with every campaign season there's always a new crop of start-ups. innovation incubators. and so, i guess the campaign is a little bit of an entrepreneurial showcase. i think a lot of us think we see these ads and i guess keeping the campaign is disliked a big marketing machine that spits out the ads we see on tv and the candidates are sending mail to us an e-mail to our in box and the phone calls and so forth. but if you peel back the curtain, you might find something. a something difference you find a very complex, highly detailed operation. there's a million things happening at once. there are things happening around the candidates, there are things happening around the headquarters operations, things happening in field offices. everything from where a candidate will stay, who will stand with the candidates, what site he should choose for that and how many people should come to the event and right down to the helium in the balloons an

that they foster or canned dealing in a diverse environment. that is how i understood their plan. it is not because of race. it is combining that with other factors. >> there is a plus because of race. there are many other factors. the white student president of the class in an ethnically different school is a measure of leadership. leadership is an independent factor. he is not getting that point because of his race. he is getting that point because of his leadership. that is race-neutral criteria that could work for anybody. race is an independent and-on -- add-on. they say they could contextualized. it is not narrowly tailored and it gives mistreatment to asian americans because they are minorities as well. if it depends on the question factor, there is no way to fit with they are doing to the solution of the problem, which may use as a major foundation of their proposal, which is the non-diverse class compared cementum there's no correspondence there. i see my time is up >> we will afford you rebuttal time. mr. garre. >> thank you. for two reasons, it is held under this court. it

board, particularly so you can create a more welcoming environment for small businesses, reduce the tax burden on small businesses, which are responsible for a disproportionate percentage of employment in this country, and you can do a lot of this by generating growth, getting rid of deductions, getting rid of a lot of the credits, getting rid of a lot of the loopholes and that is the plan he will put forward to congress. >> here's the thing. dan, here's the thing. nobody disputes that he intends to do some of this. what we don't know is how he intends to do it, and the specifics and until we get that, i think barack obama is perfectly entitled at the next two debates to take him on it, say hang on, you're cutting taxes by $5 trillion but what are you actually going to do to make up the $5 trillion? as stephanie cutter says, at the moment, the american public is just going to have to trust him. now, mitt romney may or may not be the most trustworthy guy when it comes to credits and exemptions. i have no idea. if he became president, if he would stick to this. but do we anticipate fr

environment that allows the private sector, men and women who start businesses, to actually go out and create the jobs that we all seek. but here's the important point. there is a no difference -- a big difference this time around because what has happened is the awful deep structural recession. we are slowly but surely crawling our way out of a mess that took years to get into, and we certainly are not going to solve in a matter of a couple months. that is why politicians who make promises are so disingenuous. that's why politicians who promise jobs are so dangerous. and that is why politicians who promise jobs should be ignored. in the european union, we have unemployment over 11% and it is rising. that is the true disgrace of politicians and jobs. >> difficulty, though, is when they both -- both sides made the same promises and you get stuck in the pickle you're in. >> i heard you, ali velshi, maybe they can find the moment when you promised this. you promised that if one of those political promises were broken, i think you said you would wear a dress. >> if they make it, if the

romney column than the obama column until denver this past week. in this highly polarized environment both campaigns have strategically been appealing to their respective political bases. what is unusual about this election cycle is most voters have picked sides early and lead to our polling right after the convention. looks like the final weekend of the campaign. they tell us they are firmly committed to their candidate and the number of undecided voters has been surprisingly very low. single digits. it is not about persuasion. it is about mobilization. both of the conventions were like that. in the next few weeks we will see a lot about mobilizing folks to come out particularly because of early voting which has started in so many states. the middle is shrinking as far as these campaigns are concerned. we will talk about how there is still a middle to america. once you get beyond the campaign labels but clearly those are what drive strategy in campaigns and the electoral politics. if you look at the campaign ads, in new york we are not -- we don't get a lot of ads. i have seen one of

, where you lose deductions. >> in a campaign environment, to start negotiating in a campaign environment you will lock in republicans and lock in democrats... >> chris: you locked in the 20% tax rate. >> i think people understand that that is a broad principle, that that tax rate needs to come down and we need to broaden the base. that is the principle, the principle is also that we are not going to change the share of taxes paid by upper income iners and give tax relief to the middle class and it will be deficit neutral and you can do all of those things and have people understand that that election was about this and we need this kind of pro-growth tax reform agenda. and, then work out the details in the same way, ronald reagan did with tip o'neill and working across the aisle. the governor has a proven record of being able to work across this aisle. >> chris: there are a lot of question from independent people, how do you pay for it and you refuse say. >> what we have said is we are going to pay for it by limiting deductions in the polls -- and, by the way, making sure for
